About Miyisha

Miyisha Hollis is a licensed marriage and family therapist who supports people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, self-esteem struggles, trauma, grief, parenting challenges, anger, depression, and coping with life changes. She also works with issues related to LGBT identity and with a range of focused topics such as abandonment, blended family adjustments, communication problems, and substance use.

Her practice is rooted in practical conversation and clear goals rather than jargon.

Background and approach

Miyisha keeps sessions straightforward and respectful. She listens first to understand each person's values and what matters most to them. Then she combines tools from different approaches to meet those needs.

Sessions are meant to feel like a real-time problem-solving space, not a lecture. She draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems going. She also uses Client-Centered techniques to create a nonjudgmental space where people can explore identity and values.

Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy help when someone is ready to set clear, achievable steps forward. Miyisha has nine years of clinical experience as an LMFT - Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist - practicing in Nevada. Her background includes work with people affected by work-related stress and high-pressure roles, and with those facing changes after major life events.

She aims to tailor care so it fits the person's life and goals. The process starts with understanding the situation, choosing practical strategies, and adjusting as progress is made. That collaborative approach helps people build clearer next steps and feel more in control.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding each person's values and perspective, creating space to talk without judgment so people can clarify who they are and what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thought patterns and tests small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, depression, or problematic habits. Motivational Interviewing supports people who feel stuck by exploring readiness for change and encouraging their own reasons for taking steps forward.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with the client to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level, and adjusts those choices as progress is tracked. That collaborative process helps keep therapy practical and focused on what the person wants to achieve.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide options that suit busy schedules and different comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access regular support, fit sessions into work or family routines, and keep momentum between meetings with shorter check-ins when helpful.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
